About this map

Park Rapids sits at a crossroads of wilderness and conservation within the expansive Colville National Forest. This corner of Stevens County is defined by the steep slopes of Old Dominion Mtn and a complex network of timber roads like Nat For Dev Rd 9411. The landscape is carved by water, with the Little Pend Oreille River and its many tributaries, including Hanson Cr and Kegel Cr, draining the highland terrain.

In the southeast, the Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge preserves a vital corridor of river and marshland. This area, accessed by the Colville-Tiger Rd, highlights the region's focus on habitat protection. The map captures the meeting of managed forest lands and protected wildlife areas, punctuated by features like Crystal Falls and Little Twin Lakes, which illustrate the hydrological character of the northern Washington interior.
